Sendant: Private Messenger

Sendant is a private, encrypted messenger built on a simple promise: your conversations belong to you. Messages are end-to-end encrypted by default, your keys never leave your device, there's no central server quietly logging who you talk to — and no phone number required to start. It feels like the messengers you already know — fast chats, groups, channels, attachments, reactions, edits, and disappearing messages, with voice and video on the roadmap — but the trust model underneath is different. WHY SENDANT • End-to-end encrypted by default. Only you and the people you're talking to can read your messages. Not us — by design, our infrastructure only ever sees ciphertext. • No phone number. Start private. Your identity isn't tied to your SIM, and your keys stay under your control. • Built peer-to-peer. Your identity and keys live on your device, not in an account on our servers. Direct device-to-device and relay paths are rolling out; today your messages travel a sealed store-and-forward route. • Messages that don't get lost. Your message is sealed on your device and held in a store-and-forward mailbox the servers can't read — so when your contact is offline or on a flaky connection, it waits and delivers when they reconnect, instead of failing. • Less metadata. We minimize the "who talked to whom, when" trail that centralized apps collect by default. • Security in plain language. Sendant shows clear status — "Verified," "End-to-end encrypted," "Safety number changed" — never jargon. QR and cryptographic safety-number verification are rolling out. TRUST YOU CAN READ Security here speaks plain English. Sendant shows "Verified," "End-to-end encrypted," "New device added," and "Safety number changed" — never cryptographic jargon. Every moment that asks you to make a trust decision is surfaced clearly, never buried. BUILT FOR • People who want a mainstream-easy messenger without centralized trust in their message history. • Journalists, NGOs, and civil-society teams who need confidential coordination and resilience to account takedowns. • Communities and operators who can run relay and mailbox nodes to strengthen the network. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT No phone number required. Local-first storage on your device. Your keys stay under your control. Private by default. Calm by design.
